Dundee firefighters were called to a Lakemont-Himrod Road residence Tuesday afternoon for a reported car fire.

Robert Yelinek had taken his 1986 Pontiac Fiero out of storage and while driving it, the area under the hood began to smoke. When Yelinek pulled back into his driveway, flames started to show out of the front of the car.

Dundee firefighters extinguished the fire, which started because of a short circuit with the air conditioning system.
